Well we couldn't resist one more special giveaway from Cucire. Going into the holiday season who doesn't need darling stockings???

Super cute right?? I LOVE custom stockings, so much fun!

Shop Cucire carries a wide selection of woven fabrics, threads, and voiles. New knits and Modern Solids are arriving soon, as well as the beautiful new True Colors lines from Joel Dewbbery and Anna Maria Horner. Thread always ships free with another item from the shop! I am sooo excited for these new lines!!

Of course there are more stocking patterns in the shop, and can customize the shot cotton colors in the kit so it can match your theme. They can be found here.

This giveaway from Shop Cucire includes the popular Slieghbell Stockings pattern from Empty Bobbin Sewing Studios, three half yards of beautiful shot cottons, and coordinating 28 wt. Aurifil thread to create the perfect decorative touch!

Coordinating thread is a must. Just ask my mom...I may have unpicked a sweet little shirt she made for my Lucy because the thread didn't match :)

How to win:

a separate comment for each please

1. Comment on your favorite holiday item to make (or that you've made)

I make a lot of mug rugs durning Christmas time because they are fast, fun and make wonderful gifts! I enjoy giving handmade gifts and I also enjoy receiving handmade gifts. I would like to make more handmade things for our house like a tree skirt and I would really like to make a stocking for both my kids someday. Thank you so much for the chance, Jessicajuceyj03@gmail.com

I make such a variety of things for people it's hard to pick a favorite. I think I'd have to go for the aprons I made last year. Cookie baking is such an essential part of Christmas everyone needs a Christmas apron.

I like the shot cotton bundle in there shop. I have never used shot cotton but I would love to get my hands on some because I have seen projects using this fabric and they look super wonderful!*Jessicajuceyj03@gmail.com

A couple years ago I made these hanging wood decorations for members of my family with color copies of a funny Christmas card my grandpa gave my grandma in the early 1900s. Thanks for the giveaway! I've added to the weekly link up party on my blog.

I made stockings for my daughter and step-son and was very excited about them. Now I need to make a couple for me and my husband so that the whole family has them! I also made my husband a Christmas quilt last year... well, I made the top and the back. I'd better get busy with the basting and quilting!!!

I love sewing for Christmas. This year I am making fabric baskets, placemats and coasters, a quilt, totes, and a couple of stockings. I am also helping my teenage daughter to sew about a dozen make up bags for her friends. Thanks for a great giveaway.ks(dot)eyles(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk

I have not made anything for Christmas before as I have not been quilting that long. I would like to create a special wallhanging for the livingroom, when or if I have time!Estheresthersipatchandquilt at yahoo dot comipatchandquilt dot wordpress dot com

My favorite thing to make is ornaments. I've done them in counted cross stitch, needlepoint, made little quilted stars. Even people that don't have a tree like to have ornaments to hang in the windows! :)

I love the Amy Butler's Belle- Royal Garden in Clay on the Shop Cucire store! It is gorgeous with the matching stripe. Imagine what a great quilt that would make. The shop is wonderful and full of very interesting items that I haven't seen before! Thanks for taking us there.

My favorite thing to make for Christmas are stockings. I have made all sizes, from small for hanging on a Christmas Tree, to giant sized for stuffing all kinds of goodies in! My favorites have been the giant stockings and the elf stockings (with a curly toe).I've LIKED Cucire on FB. My favorites are the Amy Butler fabrics for sale on the Cucire site!

So far my favorite holiday item that I have made are the four Christmas Stockings that I pieced and quilted for my sister's children...now she has another one on the way so I am planning the fifth stocking now! Thanks so much for the chance at a giveaway!

I always make pjs for my family for Christmas eve. It just doesn't seem like christmas until I get out the flannel. And I like to make lots of strip quilts and blankets to donate during the holidays. And chocolates. Thanks.
